hundred pounds for their wages And further he cannot
depose saving that he this deponent was detayned prisoner
in Bahia 18 monthes, and th after the said shipps departure
and was afterwards in getting home 8 monthes , to this
deponents particular great damage, besides infirmityes of his body
gotten by his long imprisonment, which he fears will stick
to him soe long as he lives, though and he beleeves it will
shorten his dayes./

To the 17th article he deposeth and saith that during the forty dayes
time arlate the arlate hurdidge and Company were of his

ffebruary 1651 English stile, And otherwise he deposeth not.
